If you’re one of the “lucky ones” who purchased the Stimulus Package map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the first day of its release, Microsoft is sending you a consolation gift as an apology for the broken DLC.

As Geek.com reported last week, March 30 wasn’t a good day for Modern Warfare fans. Aware of the grief many of you had to endure, Microsoft is going to give away 7-day Xbox LIVE Gold Memberships to those who purchased the Stimulus Package for $15 on day one. Already subscribed? You get an extra seven days added to whenever that subscription runs out.

If you’re one of the day-one buyers, you should have received the following message from Microsoft:

To thank you for your loyalty to Xbox LIVE and for buying the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package on day 1, we will extend your Gold membership for 7 days of adrenaline-pumping action with your friends on LIVE. Your account will be updated on May 1.

Like Ubisoft giving free games to PC users who bought Assassin’s Creed 2, this is a nice gesture. It shows that these companies understand they screwed up and are willing to bribe, er, offer gifts to those who had to deal with broken products. If you’re someone who received either a free game from Ubisoft or the 7-day membership from Microsoft, are you satisfied or do you think something else should have been instead?
